Mickey Mouse and Friends in Weißkirchen

Last Saturday (18th July, 2015) saw the start of a new season of the Maize Maze in Weißkirchen.  For the 13th time the Bickert family have created a labyrinth in their maize field where visitors not only have to find the right path, but also solve clues to put together a word that allows them to take part in the prize draw at the end of the summer.  This year the maze has taken on the silhouettes of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.

Fountain Queen Christina II. attended the official opening with her Brunnenmeister Jürgen and presented Richard Bickert with her Bembel, before opening the maze by cutting down the last maize plants in the entrance. [Read more…]

Last Sunday (28th September, 2014), the maize maze in Weißkirchen held their annual autumn festival.  Not only was pumpkin soup on offer, but children also had the chance to carve out their own pumpkins in time for Halloween.

Katharina (left) and Emma-Fee (right), both 6 years old and shown above, were just two of the children behind the barn doing just.  And not for the first time either.  “We’ve been coming for the past 4 years” they told me.
